Sid Fleischman : The Dream Stealer before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Dream Stealer:

Fun and entertaining readBy Michon ZuritaMy son and I love this book; have read it multiple times at our public library, so just broke down and bought a copy for ourselves! It helps that I read it in accents and with many giggles from my son. Just a precious little story that is kind of unexpected and with charming characters. Not crazy about the illustrations--this is not how I picture the Dream Stealer in my own head--but you can't fault the author for that! I recommend it for a good read-aloud and even for a read-alone for beginning readers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

What would you do to rescue your most precious dream?Susanarsquo;s best friend moved away, and now the only time Susana can see her is in her dreams. Until one night when the dream suddenly ends. The Dream Stealer has come, her grandmother says. The Dream Stealer does not want pretty silver earrings or dangly gold necklaces, diamonds or rubies. He wants dreams. Hersquo;s supposed to take only nightmares, but hersquo;s grown scared of the monsters and phantoms. Hersquo;s been stealing good dreams instead. But hersquo;s stolen from the wrong girl.Susana is clever. She is fearless. And she wants her dream back.

From School Library JournalGrade 2ndash;5mdash;Basing a story on a carved Mexican figure, Fleischman weaves a short tale around a Dream Stealer, Zumpango, who perches outside windows waiting to snitch nightmares from sleeping children. Scared by some of the critters he has lassoed, he starts taking happy dreams. But he hasn't reckoned with Susana, who wants back her interrupted dream of a happy reunion with a friend with whom she has had a fight. She tricks Zumpango into flying her to his lair to take back the dream. There she faces down and outfoxes the nightmare creatures (some borrowed from folktales) and agrees to be Zumpango's new friend if he will leave her good dreams alone. When she is returned home, a phone call from her old friend provides a cheerful end. Siacute;s's ink drawings feature just the right mix of surreal, funny, scary, and reassuring images (but sharp readers will note that while the text has the Dream Stealer escaping an ogre feet first through a narrow window, the illustration shows him stuck head first). Set within a loving Spanish family, the tale twinkles with Fleischman's signature crisp language and laugh-out-loud wordplay. All in all, it's a quick, unique read that's sure to give young chapter-book readers shivers, laughs, and satisfaction.mdash;Susan Hepler, formerly at Burgundy Farm Country Day School, Alexandria, VA END ldquo;This fanciful, original tale drawn from Mexican lorehellip;will delight children, as will the narratorrsquo;s expertly modulated storytellerrsquo;s cadence. Siacute;srsquo; black and- white illustrations include inventive design elements that reinforce the sense of real and imagined worlds overlapping.rdquo; (Booklist (starred review))ldquo;The author breathes life into this Mexican-flavored world with a storytelling manner thatrsquo;s teasing and intriguing by turns.rdquo; (Kirkus s)ldquo;The tale twinkles with Fleischmanrsquo;s signature crisp language and laugh-out-loud wordplayhellip;[a] unique read thatrsquo;s sure to give young chapter-book readers shivers, laughs, and satisfaction.rdquo; (School Library Journal)About the AuthorSid Fleischman wrote more than sixty books for children, adults, and magicians.
